Stephen Colbert: Presidential Hopeful?

By Mike

Stephen Colbert announced the announcement Americans have wanted to hear, straight from the source’s mouth: he is running for President!

Acting oddly reserved – as well as staunchly American; check the bale of hay and brown-bottle beer – Colbert first announced that he would “consider” announcing an announcement on the subject of him running for President “on a more prestigious show.”

He did exactly that an hour later on his very own Colbert Report.

“I shall seek the office of the President of the United States,” said Colbert to His Nation – and seek he will, entering as both a Democrat and Republican to increase his chances of winning the presidency.

How will politicians accept the man who slagged the entire cabinet at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner?

It doesn’t really matter – Colbert has the attention of young Americans in desperate need of a leader they can relate to. While there’s absolutely no way to see how this all pans out, one thing is for sure: by-the-books politics will get quite a scare from Colbert.

Does he have a chance or is this pure lunacy to expose the frigidness of today’s hopefuls?
